Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster projection: Difficult decisions loom after final scrimmage

The Philadelphia Eagles are less than two weeks away from a season-opening showdown in D.C. against Chase Young and the Washington Football Team. With training camp now in full swing and several notable changes to the roster, here’s an updated 53 …

CB — 3 — Darius Slay, Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones, Avonte Maddox

Craig James has had a better camp at cornerback than Sidney Jones and that fact alone means the Eagles may have to finally accept that they missed on the former second-round pick.   Rasul Douglas has had a great camp, while Avonte Maddox will start opposite Darius Slay.

Slot — 2 — Cre’Von LeBlanc, Nickell Robey-Coleman

LeBlanc is the least mentioned player on the list, but he’s solid and Jim Schwartz has to find a role for him. Robey-Coleman has had the hype this summer and if he can truly be the ‘slot-god’ in Philadelphia, the Eagles could have a top-5 secondary.
